right, a niche market. Small labels, especially those with access to lower-cost European orchestras, 
can thrive in the niche. But, the niche is small and getting smaller, so don't count on a wide 
variety of new hardware. From what I see, all the majors except Sony/BMG have given up on it. Not 
saying it's right or wrong, just saying it is.
